“Avoid Avis/Budget at NOLA. They clearly can't cope. They lack planning, no availability for bookings”
About Budget:10.0/10
Staff were brilliant and handled the corporate disaster of Budget very professionally. No car availability for three hours after getting off a ten hour flight. There had to be around fifty people just waiting around. Just awful, awful, awful.
About QEEQ:8.0/10
Fine, booking is a little cludgy as they send you a confirmation email to e log into. But once your in it's OK.
Totally shocked at the number of people in line for Budget car rental. 100's
Waited 1 hour in line and another 45 min at the counter as they did not have a van available for us.
We had 6 people so we had to wait until they found one. (which we had booked)
During the trip the car got a scratch. When returning the car the Budget Agent estimated the cost for car repair and we paid the amount x. The agent assured us that all is set and Both parties signed the return documents. One day later we got a message that the car repair costs will double to 2x. We answered that we do Not accept this. Not successful. Budget charged us the 2x amount. This is very bad behaviour and I will Never take a car from Budget again.
El auto superó mis expectativas. Pero tuve que esperar por el auto casí una hora.

Cuando hice la reservación del auto ofrecian un paquete de protección de la unidad tanto en México como en Estados Unidos, pero en la agencia Budget me obligaron a pagar un seguro de cobertura nacional de acuerdo a la ley estatal de Baja California.
We were delayed at immigration with an interminable line! By the time we arrived at the Budget office, it was closed. After evaluating the options, I decided to hire a car for 24 hours from Avis; while I was in the Avis office, I heard another customer say that he had a Budget reservation, I asked him about it and he told me that Avis and Budget are the same company, so I was able to pick up the car I had originally reserved from the Avis counter. I was glad I did not spend the extra money on a taxi or additional rental, however a little more information would have gone a long way to relieve the stress and not make us waste another hour looking for solutions, after we had been traveling for more than 24 hours.
Be aware that the car/option you may have selected isn’t always going to be the car you get. In fairness it states “similar” in the advert but had hoped my car choice would have been available.
About QEEQ:10.0/10
The booking process was pretty smooth. It would be useful to make it clear there is no system in place to pay automatically for any toll roads you may use.
Helpful staff in Austin. In San Antonio no receipt was emailed to me and also I was not told I was being charged for 2 extra hours. There was some time confusion. Other than that, good.
About QEEQ:9.0/10
Very good as always. The only thing is I booked the car at 0700 and returned after 0900 and was charged extra hours but think it was a confusion.
Staff were helpful. It was not clear that car hire was not based at the airport and the directions for the bus were not accurate so we wandered around the airport searching for a while and then had a 20 min wait for a bus. Unsure if this is a QEEQ or Budget issue.
“Booking easy. Good price. Car provided by Budget fine - but had some existing faults.”
About Budget:8.0/10
Car drivable but had faults (cruise control and collision warning inoperative and warning lights on). Were not advised of existing damage to bodywork. Car had 90,000 on clock so not a new vehicle. Counter staff and return staff very pleasant and efficient.
“Easy booking, value for money but understaffed leading to poor collection experience”
About Budget:7.0/10
Car was fine but had a dent in the side which was not mentioned on collection. No go round the car.
Very long queue for collection - not what you need after a day of travelling.
Staff were helpful and efficient but very understaffed- thus the long delay and limited hand over.
